FLOWERS FROM MY GARDEN An Original Plein Air Oil Painting by Claire Beadon Carnell

I picked these flowers from my garden early
yesterday morning so that I could take them
to the annual student show that I hold for
all of my students to display the beautiful
work they have done over the past year.

They were so pretty that I decided to do
a plein air painting of them this afternoon right on the
deck of my studio. This is the result of a little
over two hours of work. I need to do a bit more
in the studio, but was happy with what
I was able to accomplish in that period of time.

"We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls." -- Mother Teresa
